Unexpected Death During Surgery Michigan Medical Malpractice Lawsuits

Our Michigan medical malpractice attorneysat Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. handle cases against hospitals and surgeons in cases involving unexpected death during surgery. While there are many health risks involved in every surgical procedure, there are many occasions in which the unexpected death of the patient during surgery is the direct result of medical negligence. When a patient dies during surgery from a medical error or medical mistake, the surviving family members can pursue a Michigan wrongful death lawsuit.

Common Reasons For Unexpected Death During Surgery

Death during a routine surgery or non-emergency surgery can happen, but it is often the result of medical malpractice during the surgery. The most common causes of unexpected death during surgery include:

Anesthesia error

Surgeon error in the performance of the surgery

Cardiac arrest during surgery

Failure to monitor patient’s vitals

Uncontrolled bleeding

Lack of oxygen during surgery

Pulmonary embolism during surgery

When a patient dies from unexpected death during a surgical procedure, the family members should investigate whether the death was the result of surgery mistakes or anesthesia errors, or whether it was from a complication that arose during the surgery that was not the result of a medical mistake. Both of these will help a family obtain closure after the loss of a loved one.

Our experienced medical malpractice legal team will review the entire surgery report and then discuss the treatment with a board-certified surgeon to determine whether the condition of the spine was properly treated and whether the death of the patient was due to medical malpractice. If there was medical mistake by a physician that caused the death, we then pursue a medical malpractice case seeking damages under the Michigan Wrongful Death Statute.
